Three Bears
Edit SpotAbout
Picks up about as much if not more swell as margaret river. Can get Very big on an average sized swell with powerfull rogues and cleanup sets. Starts closing out at about 2.5 - 3m swell (8-10ft wave). Sick if you get it big and uncrowded
Atmosphere:
Usually cool. But if the swell is small and in summer time or on the weekend it is crazy, with plenty of mals as well. It is incredible that for a difficult-to-get-to spot there can be so many people!
Additional Info:
Three Bears consists of three waves Babys, Mamas and Papas (although there is also grandpapas as well). Papas is an average wave, where as Mamas is really good on mid to small swells, with a nice left tube and wall (rights are also possible). Babies is a good peak on a small swell, with the left slightly longer.Babies is great when the sewll gets around 6 foot and really smokes with long rides and great tubes.
